Steer Fattening Observed at Kansas City Stockyards
A Kansas man, L. L. Roby, fattened twelve steers at 344 to 585 years old from the Kansas City stockyards. The mixed Galloway Short native cattle gained about 5 pounds daily over 75 days in a shelterless yard, fed a 38 pound daily mixture of crushed corn and linseed meal with small hay rations. The trial noted linseed meal’s price stability and recommended laxative feeds like ensilage, bran, and linseed for digestion, while pondering breeding for mental traits alongside meat and milk production.
